🐾 James’ Eagle Project is taking shape! We’d like to thank Jerry Humble for many hours of overseeing this build, allowing Scouts to come to his building and use his tools. This project wouldn’t be possible without him! 🐾 📷 : Christie Mitchell

🐾 “My human has been hard at work on that agility course. I can’t wait for it to get finished—I’m just sitting around playing video games all day.” - Ginger 🐾 Projected Installation: Saturday, August 20th.

🐾 Greg Prince and his crew over at Southside Lumber generously donated 1/3 of the wood for our agility park and we want to give them a HUGE THANK YOU! They also helped us get good deals on the remaining 2/3 of the lumber, and it cost significantly less than what we priced at the big box stores. We can’t say enough good things about the great service we had and how they invest in Southern Illinois. 🐾

Hello everyone, my name is Ginger. My human, James, wants to be an Eagle Scout. (Why anyone would want to be a bird instead of a dog, I don’t know, but this is what he said.) For his project, he wants to build an agility course at the Cannon Park: Bark Park so I can run and play. James is a good boy and I can’t wait to see what he’s planning. 🐾
